My other versions are all back in Singapore, so I can't really do a direct comparison.

But based on memory, I recall that GnR albums were never great in SQ, I remember my other 2 versions of Appetite for Destruction sounded quite flat and noisy.

This new remaster is definitely much more dynamic, the sound opens up a lot, but still sounds slightly veiled. It feels like the upper frequencies have been cut off (which is what the original also sounded like)

However, it is very very clean, the background is very quiet and there is no noise at all. If you're a fan, definitely must buy. Just the holograph alone on side D is good enough reason. (although the holograph is quite poorly done, nothing compared to the excellent Star Wars one)

According to the liner notes, this one should be an improvement to the original. They even expanded it to 3 sides so as to have a more "audiophile" quality. I just listened to Sweet Child O Mine again and I have to say, I think I hear much more details and better soundstage than before.

It's a limited edition series done by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs. Half speed mastered and cut at 45 RPM. Most of their albums are available, but according to reviews a lot of them cannot make it, lose to the first press. Black album is one of the few that reviewed as better than first press.

I always thought Tracy Chapman first CD recorded in full digital DDD was good and always used as a test CD for hifi those days. I was blown away by the recording when I managed to listen to the LP, fifteen years later.
